Our New Family

Wee Boy is Nursery Age
Can you tell my son has a new way of smiling? Before it was all cheese all the time, and now it's wide open, as if he's mid "hooray!" I still love it though. At a year and a half, this boy has exactly one word he is proficient at saying, "hi." He's starting to get down a few key animal sounds, but otherwise all we get out of this one is a good, solid "hi." Ah speech. Someday you will be our child's constant companion. In the meantime, we love his surge into mute independence, complete with moving the chairs around the kitchen to get into anything and everything. Mostly he just wants to "help." Help with cooking, help with cleaning, help with Cheeks. But sometimes that "help" means a lot of me saying "if you touch that again, I'm banishing you." His most defining characteristic is curiosity. If he's left to his own devices he is most likely exploring some new, now available to him, territory. Thankfully for this little one, his moments of absolute adorableness outnumber his moments that make me want to punt him. He is my kisser, my helper, and my explorer and I can't get enough of his sweet personality.

My New Favorite Photo
How can you not love babies in footie pjs? Mornings are still my favorite time of day with my babes. And this morning, with them in their pink and blue pjs that make them look like adorbale little sausages, I couldn't help but have a little photo shoot. My Wee Boy, for the most part just looks at me with a blank expression when I invite him to speak, but ask him to say "hi" to his sister and he is all over it. LOVE it.

Twinners
I made Matthew and Wee Boy matching PJs. I think they look adorable, but you can tell just how "eager" they are to be in front of my lens.

Recent Crafting
Here are my most recent projects. Thank you Pinterest for the inspirations.
Also sewn, but not pictured is a new pair of pajama pants I made for Matthew since the last pair I made him years ago were pretty trashed. If I ever get around to making Wee Boy a matching pair I will post a picture - because the cuteness factor of father and his wee son matching is too high to not be photographed.
Thanks for indulging me. LOVE.
The Running of the Bum
So that's all. Wee Boy's naked bum is now documented for posterity. Heaven help this boy when he gets older.
Sacrifice
I love my children, honestly and truly. But toting around two babes along with planning around different nap schedules and friends' preschool/elementary school drop off and pickup times, makes it virtually impossible to be social during the day. These kids are collectively cramping our syles. It's kind of a Catch 22. How do I love my children but sometimes wish their little lives fit better into my ideal schedule at the same time? I guess this is what parenthood is all about. Taking one for the team because your children/family are #1. All I can say is it's a good thing they are so c-ute.
